Project info for Fling

Created 7 Sep 2000 at 08:17 UTC by JulianM, last modified 7 Sep 2000 at 09:11 UTC by JulianM.

Notes:

Quoting from the project's sourceforge page:

Fling is a new suite of internet protocols that perform the function of DNS, TCP, and UDP in a manner that's both untraceable and untappable. Fling protects clients from servers, servers from clients, and both from an eavesdropper in-between. The result is that anyone can serve or retrieve any data, without fear of censure.

Fling has not released any files yet, it is in the "one developer; prototype, redesign, and first build" stage.

In essence, Fling is an "onion-skin routing" system, plus a rootless name-server system that allows lookup of "route balls" by human-readable hierarchical machine name.
